A detailed look at what Functional Medicine is. How the approach of Functional Medicine is to uncover the underlying cause of disease in the body as a whole. From a Functional Medicine perspective the body is all connected and should not be treated as individual systems. To be a Functional Medicine practitioner one must be a detective connecting the dots identified.
